I first tried Rive in October 2021. I immediately fell in love with it and saw its potential, because even back then it was clear that Lottie technology was reaching a dead end and that interactive animation needed a different approach.

At the time, not many people knew about Rive, and I often had to explain just how great this tool was. Five years have passed since then. Rive has grown incredibly and become an industry standard.

Recently, I took second place in the Rive Impossible UI Challenge, and today I received the Rive Expert badge. It’s an honor for me to receive it.

Wishing the Rive team continued success and growth!

Congrats on your badge Yaroslav! Your feelings about the Rive is same as me! Just out of curiousty, how much time did it take you to get accepted as an expert after applying?

Second place in the Impossible UI Challenge plus the Expert badge in the same stretch is a great run. Curious what tipped you from Lottie to Rive back in 2021, was there a specific project where Lottie just couldn't keep up, or was it more a gut feeling about where things were headed?
